Critical by Robin Cook
4.0
I have read a few Robin Cook books in the past, the last one I read was almost 7 years ago. I stopped reading them, as I got bored of the same old medical conspiracy theories and the unbelievable plots. However, when I picked up critical, I was surprised to find that I still remembered the characters of Jack, Laurie, Lou, Riva, and others quite well, though I didn't remember specific plots. This is a testimony of how well Robin Cook has portrayed his characters in his books.
The story was similar to other Robin Cook books and was predictable. Though the technical details were interesting, there was lot of medical terminology used and at times became too text bookish and boring. I got confused by similar sounding names of Italian gangsters and doctors (Angela, Angelo, Franco, Michael.......) and had to consciously place them in separate groups.
